The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), with financial support from the European Union (EU), invites community-based organisations to submit proposals under the EU4Dialogue phase II initiative.

Building on the achievements and lessons learned from the first phase, EU4Dialogue Phase II aims to contribute to confidence-building, strengthen the resilience of the conflict-affected communities, and foster social cohesion. The initiative supports locally driven solutions that contribute to human security, post-conflict recovery, community empowerment, and promotion of sustainable peace. 

What are we looking for?

The grant scheme will support community-driven initiatives that respond to local needs, promote sustainable peace, and contribute to enhancing the resilience and livelihoods of conflict-affected populations.
 
Priority areas include:

• Youth, peace, and security
• Women's empowerment
• Disability rights and inclusive infrastructure
• Healthcare and education
• Environment, climate, and energy
• Trauma healing and social cohesion
• Digital inclusion
• Transport and local connectivity.

Initiatives are encouraged to combine activities that foster community engagement, facilitate knowledge sharing, and strengthen local participation.
 
Special consideration will be given to initiatives that:

• Contribute to dialogue, confidence-building, and community resilience
• Support communities living near dividing lines
• Engage women and young people as agents of change
• Promote social inclusion and equal opportunities.

Eligible applicants include locally registered non-profit organisations with demonstrated experience working with conflict-affected communities and sufficient capacity to implement grant-funded activities.
